An 8-year-old boy was taken to hospital Thursday evening after being struck by a vehicle in east Ottawa.
Ottawa paramedics said emergency crews were dispatched to the intersection of Cummings Avenue and Donald Street at approximately 7:16 p.m.
The child had reportedly ran onto the roadway and was hit by a passing vehicle. The car’s side mirror struck the boy, who was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police confirmed that no charges have been laid. Cummings Avenue was temporarily closed following the collision but has since reopened.
